What's Happening?
My stomach hurts as I feel Finnick's arm rest on it, I feel him breathing into my hair. I can't tell if he's awake or not but it feels as if something is coming up. I carefully move his hand from me, as not to disturb him then run to the nearest bathroom, throwing up down the toilet. It hurts and I feel groggy but I just get to the sink and splash water on my face. Water's nice, it reminds me of home, of the days I spent fishing yet at the same time it brings back memories of the games, of that earthquake. I shake that thought from my head. A pain fills my stomach and I lift up my top and notice that I've grown fatter. I was given more food than everyone else at first because I was so skinny from my time at the Capitol but now my portions are a lot smaller, just so I have enough to maintain my current weight so this bulge strikes me as odd. A rush of hate towards District 13 fills me, they shouldn't allocate things, it's not fair how we're only given enough, it's a dictatorship just like the Capitol! The anger subsides and turns into worry that they might somehow find out how I feel and punish not only me but Finnick also. I press my hand to my chest; it doesn't feel like fat. That's when I put the pieces together. The being sick, the bulge, the random mood swings. It fits, it all fits! "I'm pregnant!" I whisper to myself. I'm pregnant. It takes a while for me to get my head around the concept. I'm pregnant with Finnick's child. I smirk madly despite the fact I'm worried, scared and I don't know what will happen but as long as I have Finnick everything will be ok.
I walk back into the bedroom to see Finnick propped up by his elbow. "Annie, are you ok?" he asks. I just smile back and nod. I should tell him but I can't seem to get the words out. Thoughts rush through my mind, what if he doesn't want the child? What if he doesn't want me with the child? I don't want to know the reaction so I keep my mouth shut and nod. "Good." he says smiling, "I'm sorry Annie but I can't be with you today, I've got to go somewhere. I'll see you tonight though." he says. I nod in reply; my tongue seems to be tied. He swings himself around and out of bed, puts on a t shirt and pecks me quickly on the lips before leaving. I collapse on the bed not knowing what to do? Tears spill onto the pillow. Finnick's warmth still lingers on the sheet so I just concentrate on that…
